Gahm stood atop the Peak. At the edge of space, on the heighest mountain ever created, be it by god or human, real or virtual, he stood there, waiting, meditating... Gahm was a carefree and wise person, usually calm and fairly happy and relaxed. However, he has only one wish... and that was for a challenge.
Since his character was so immensely powerful compared to most others, he dared not challenge any normal person like anyone else would. Instead, he waited atop this mountain, this Peak, for the first to come up, for the first to prove himself, or herself... for the first one to show that he or she was powerful enough to grant the both of them a challenge, as is the true purpose of any game.

MegaMan Juno had left the S.S. CalmWaters some time ago, looking for a place to be at peace. Somewhere he could search for answers. He flew to the top of the peak, and there he saw a man. Is that...? He got a bit closer, and saw that it was indeed the man he thought it was. Gahm! Juno walked up to Gahm's right, and stood there a couple seconds. "Greetings Gahm-sensei."

"Hai, greetings, Juno-san." Gahm replied in the same way as he was greeted. "Be seated, young warrior." He offered, though there were no chairs to be seated upon.

"Thank you." Juno said with a nod, and then sat down beside Gahm-sensei. I wonder... What is he doing up here? Is he here for a reason similar to mine? Does he know about NightShade? He thought a bit frantically. Juno! This is not going to get you anywhere! Just ask the man. He let out a sigh, and then said: "I know why I am here, but what is your reason for being up on the top of this freezing mountain?"

Gahm smiled with his eyes closed. "My reason?" He spoke in a soft, but clear voice. "This mountain is the embodiment of divine power, of the strength nature holds, symbolizing strength and ambition to those who brave it. A mountain, but not just a mountain... my dream."

"I am not sure if that is a reason." Juno said with a puzzled look on his face. "It seemed to me that you were kind of beating around the bush, as one might say." He said plainly.

Gahm smiled. "I am not really sure if I am allowed to talk so freely about the history of American politics, especially their presidents." He stated. "But enough about this 'beating bushes'... tell me, what is on your mind?"

MegaMan Juno looked down at the snow before him, an expression of hatred and anger on his face. He was silent for a moment after Gahm-sensei's question. "Kuro." He finally answered after about 45-seconds of silence.

"Ahh... Kuro-kun..." Gahm replied quite casually, as if he was not surprised, rather amused. "What is it about him that bothers you, young warrior?"

"Tell me Gahm, do you remember the NightShade incident?" Juno asked bluntly, having a pretty good feeling that he would indeed remember.

"I must say I wasn't in this world at that time, Juno-san." Gahm replied. "However, I have heard of it indeed." He assured Juno. Indeed, a subordinate had told him of the things that had happened on the Calmwaters ship back then.

"Some time ago Kuro possessed me, and took the name NightShade." Juno said, still staring at the snow. "However, my spirit left my body, and I was able to get myself a new body. Kouken and I eventually killed him, but my soul was, in a way, infected by Kuro. A small part of him remains in my soul, and when I lose control I become NightShade again." He then turned his head to Gahm, and finished. "So, I have come here to try and search my soul to figure out a way to get rid of Kuro from me, and hopefully figure out why Kuro did this to me."

"Why rid yourself of something that is a part of you?" Gahm asked casually. "This darkness is a part of you. Evil ever resides in man. I think that is what many books of wisdom tell."

"This is not a part of me, it is a part of Kuro." Juno said plainly. "I have a dark side of my own, Gahm." He paused a moment, and turned away from Gahm-sensei. "Hm. I am surprised you are not concerned about this matter. I thought that one such as yourself would be a bit more worried about NightShade or Kuro coming into this world."

Gahm smiled and opened his eyes. "It is not that I would not be worried about him coming back, if it ever ocurred. It is that I am morely worried about what he would be like. Man is subject to change, and Kuro is much like a man. I would know. I had hand in helping to create him."
